How far you watched tex? It's pretty trippy at start but raises it's glorious head after that.
Oh I finished it... I usually finish everything unless it's truly horrendous

You actually keep track of those you've dropped?
I just forget about them forever....
I wish I could do that xD Every time I watch or read something terrible and drop it sometimes I find myself wondering what was going to happen next (Accel World comes to mind...>.<)

what the hell dude, texhnolyze is on a totally different artistic level
It's a lot more toned down in comparison to OP1 (less hotbloodedness). But man, that visual style. I'm usually pretty wary of the use of CG in anime, but it's been used so well in these OPs that I fully approve. There's also a ton of little details that really help. The nods to the manga. The sketch-like animation of the pillar men. Heck, even the animation of the text is done with superb JoJo-like flair. I honestly couldn't ask for anything more.
This would easily be my favorite show of the season (especially since we're onto Battle Tendency in all of Joseph's glory) if Teekyuu wasn't so damn good.
On an unrelated note, only one Kyousogiga OVA left. I really wish we had a full series for it.
For me this season, its Psycho-Pass. But hearing so much good from girls und panzer, i might pick it up and see for myself (I've dropped it after ep1)
SAO is the biggest let down for me. It had a great start, and then... shit happened On the same genre, I've found Accel World to be much more interesting (while the main guy was quite annoying)

really nice new OP, I still prefer the OP1 thought.
Anyway, JoJo has the best openings and endings, and it is a really good show!

Really wasn't that great a start. At episode 3 I already thought it was bad.
Wow, how unclimatic... can anime directors/writer have a better way of solving problems than by using unexplained OP stupid made-up on the spot shits?
That and the "evil guy" was probably the most idiot of all. From all powerful to zero in a matter of minute... Also, he must be the most failed rapist in history.
Good thing SAO ends with next episode, hopefully no season 2

The point of SAO are those stupid made-up on the spot shit, and honestly they make sense after a fashion at least in the LNs. Anime simply never took the effort to establish it properly so it looks retarded.
Much as I hate on SAO, the weird OP shit isn't one of the things I'd complain about...at least in the LN.

Just finished episode 14, honestly I'd be happy with that being the ending ^^

I thought that part was retarded in the LN too. + Show Spoiler +
Hes getting raped by Sugou, and then all the sudden Heathcliff shows up and is like LOL HERE IS MY PASSWORD.
But in response to XenOmega, it wasn't the anime director/writer's fault for coming up with that. The same thing happened in the source material, pretty much. So blame the original writer for being a hack.
Also, there is no way we aren't getting a second season. Unfortunately.

you make it sound like the second season is a bad thing? the GGO arc is fantastic as it is and easily tops ALO and matches the original arc pretty well

Yes, its a horrible thing. GGO might be better than ALO, but seeing as how atrocious ALO was, it isn't hard to be better than that. Doesn't mean GGO is any good. And following that, what do we get? A really long Asuna story (which is essentially a side story, also bad), and another side story volume that has already been partly covered. They won't touch Alicization, seeing as how that story is going to be at LEAST 3 volumes and is still ongoing.
I am home and that means I can finally open my secret santa gift! + Show Spoiler +
OMG COULD IT BE? YES FEITO-CHAN <3 ffffff what is this atrocity? who would do such a thing to poor feito? much better ^^
I regret to say I broke Bardiche already. It snapped so easily ;; but luckily still attached (it's broken even in the picture, the lower cylinder thing). Gonna need to superglue it carefully or something. Whoever gave me this, thanks so much ^^
edit: glued as best I could with the minuscule surface area I had to work with but it's fixed. Not perfect but at least it isn't hanging anymore T_T
